And if they belie you, say;"For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds! You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!" (10;41)

اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ


Allah knows best of what you do.

This is a stern warning and definite threat, as in the Ayah;

هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ كَفَى بِهِ شَهِيداً بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ

He knows best of what you say among yourselves concerning it! Sufficient is He as a witness between me and you! (46;8)

Allah says here;

اللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ
